How to Draw a Printe

Drawing a Printer is not as difficult as it may seem. One only needs to remember two very basic rules: 1) The lines and angles in your drawing must be unambiguous, and 2) Keep your lines contained within the boundaries of the page.

Steps:

1. Begin by drawing two parallel horizontal lines for the base (the blue-lined area). Hold one end of the pen at one line, lower it on top of the other line, then drag it across both lines to create an "x" shape. Repeat this pattern at least three times until you have a rectangle that is approximately 5" high by 10" wide.

2. Curve the rectangle on the left until it meets the blue line in an area approximately 5.5" long and 4.5" wide (one axis of a standard printer).

3. Bend the lines at one end of the printer base to form a V shape, then retrace them to separate them from each other about one inch, being careful not to touch these lines as you do so.

4. Using short, straight lines draw your "treadle" or "roller base". Be sure that this is also parallel with the horizontal (base) lines and slightly longer than they are.

5. With the lines extended, pull them apart to roughly match the width of the vertical guidelines of the printer.

6. Draw two long, perpendicular lines that run from each side of your vertical guide lines to approximately one-third of the way down on either side of your roller base. You should end up with a shape roughly similar to a square if you do this correctly.

7. Finally, to blend out the edges and corners, use short curved lines (see reference drawing at left). Keep in mind that these lines need not be perfect and may vary quite a bit in length and angle depending on your personal style; however, these are very good guidelines for finishing a drawing.

You've now completed your printer! Remember, once you've learned this basic technique, try varying it to suit your needs. Here are some suggestions:

• Creating a laser printer: draw a straight line from the bottom of the base to just above center of the roller base, then pull it apart and up to reach the vertical line on either side. This can be used in place of the two lines that were pulled away earlier.

• Making a handheld printer: Add arms and legs to your printer by drawing an additional set of angled guidelines from each corner of the square (or rectangle if you're using an actual object as reference).

• Adding a stapler: The stapler is modeled similarly to the roller base, only with several more lines and a few adjustments.

As you can see from these examples, this drawing technique can be used in many different ways! Have fun! (For more free printable art, click here. No flash. Must be on to leave comments.) Description:How to draw a printer

STEP ONE:

This is the beginning of drawing a printer. Make two parallel lines [blue] for the base and draw another parallel line going across from it vertically.

STEP TWO:

Move the pen down and draw an "x" shape, then continue drawing the box on either side of the vertical line you drew. [Make sure that the lines are not touching each other]

STEP THREE:

Draw one of the horizontal lines, bend it and continue down drawing two other horizontal lines next to it that are slightly longer than they are because they will eventually be clipped by your X shaped box.
